    Update on the Des Moines pool scene

    No Jason, You're thinking of Kent Zirtsman, he's a good player too. I think you met me last year in Waterloo. I met Troy at a tournament Wednesday night at the Corner Pocket in CR. We played each other and he lucked out...I mean beat me...out of the winners side. I played in the Seniors...

    Update on the Des Moines pool scene

    When we move to DM :o where we will have more room for expansion and get the entire state involved, we'll have a week long tournament. Then we'll think about some 9 footers for one pocket, ten ball and maybe a real pro event...the Cornfield County Classic (CCC). I'd like to see that happen. I...

    Update on the Des Moines pool scene

    Here's a question for you Iowa AZB players: Should we have a 'King of Iowa AZB Mini Tournament' at the ISPA event? I don't know if it would be recognized by AZ as thier format seems to be for a straight heads up challenge match, but this could be an unofficial mini tournament made up of all...

    Update on the Des Moines pool scene

    I personally didn't think the IOMA was as bad as in past year...of course, maybe that's because I could go home between matches lol. I've always disliked the 'sit around and wait' for you next match because they don't use a time schedule. That's the biggest advantage to the ISPA...

    Update on the Des Moines pool scene

    Good tournament Mikey. I enjoyed it a lot. The format was good...a bit long but good. I loved the rules...as mentioned, took out a lot of the luck. I guess I'm glad I got knocked out after the third round. 12 hours sounds like a lot of time on the floor. Even with only four tables, you...

    Mechanical Bridge "Foul?"

    OK, let me add: We are talking CB fouls only. (pulzcul)...fouling the OB you are bridging over. I can understand the 'not a foul' arguement. I guess my question is based on the fact that you are using a 'mechanical bridge' rather than your hand to bridge over a ball and extra care should...

    Fouling after making the ball!

    I have found it to be extremely difficult to explain rules to people that have no comprehension of physics. It is very difficult to explain a double hit to someone that can not visualize the cue tip moving 1" and only a 1/4" between the cue and object ball. I love the Dr Dave"s high speed...

    Mechanical Bridge "Foul?"

    This situation has actually came up twice in the last week and I can't find the answer. Once playing under VNEA rules and once playing under WPA rules. Situation: while using a mechanical brige to cue over an object ball, the interfering object ball was touched/moved by the brige/cue during...

    Des Moines, IA Ten Ball Tourney(9ft Diamonds) at Big Dogs on March 13th

    I totally agree with your interpretaion. The main reason people don't like 9-ball is because of the luck factor. I think it aint so much the lucky shot because with upper level players, you really don't see too many lucky shots. But you do see lucky leaves. And that always gets my goat. You...

    Update on the Des Moines pool scene

    Mikey, I might be able to make that 10-ball tournament Saturday. I might be in town for the weekend and that would be a nice relaxing evening for me and the wife. Of course, I might get bombarded with questions about the ISPA while there, but that's OK, I'm ready...I can tell anyone "I'll...

    Des Moines, IA Ten Ball Tourney(9ft Diamonds) at Big Dogs on March 13th

    Mike...not trying to argue and this has probably been covered over and over in the other (10-ball) threads, but I question your statement here: "We are going to use the WPA World Ten Ball Rules for this tournament. In other words it will be just like we are all used to, with the exception you...

    07 Pat Diveney

    I can vouch for the playability of a Diveney cue. I own a sister to that very cue. Mine has a few more 'dots' on the butt and forearm and all of the inlays on mine are Mother of Pearl. It too shoots great...in my hands, I am the weakest part of it. Great looking cue, I'm sure it plays very...

    this cues crazy

    C'mon guys, cut the lady some slack...after all, she's from Montana:). I think she just forgot the decimal point. Heck, anybody can tell that cue is worth every bit of $15.00:wink:. The bid is even over that amount:eek:, must be becase it is an antique. Have a nice day...Ken

    Is this memorabilia

    Mark, Those could be valuable some day as already mentioned. It would help greatly to have each signed by the winner (Earl and Johnny in this case) and some other documentation as well. A news paper article, an article from AZ or any other pool magazine, dated and describbing the event and...

    Stupid boredom rule question #2

    All the solids were pocketed on the break. The table remains open until someone make a leagal shot to determine who has what group. The first shot after the break is always to an open table. You cannot shoot the eight ball on an open table (or first contact at any time for that matter)...
